Ethics Awareness Week Kick-Off Event with Chancellor Perdue at 11 a.m., Today

The University System of Georgia (USG) is committed to the highest ethical and professional standards of conduct in pursuit of its mission to create knowledge. Accomplishing this mission demands integrity, good judgment, and dedication to public service from all members of the USG community. Annually, the USG highlights this commitment through an Ethics Awareness Week which is scheduled this year for November 7–13, 2022. The purpose of this week is to remind employees of our commitment to an ethical culture and our shared ethical values and expectations. For each in-person event attended, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to enter their name in a drawing for a chance to win one of 3 Faculty/Staff Meal Plans donated by Sodexo. The drawing will take place on Friday, November 11, at 10:30am. 

Ethics Awareness Week will kick off on Monday, November 7, 2022, and the activities for the day will focus on Georgia College’s value, The pursuit of knowledge and truth for the public good.
